Chapter 598: Counterattack (3/3)

Wan, Qu grass self-recovering also. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The meaning of this is twofold: one is that the grass covers the land; The second is that the square is high and the center is down.

To a certain extent, the topography of Wancheng also happens to be in line with the characteristics of Wancheng. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with undulating mountains in the east, west and north, and Yushui (now the White River) flowing through it in the south, and the land is fertile. As the seat of Nanyang County, and at the same time it is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the city wall of Wancheng is high and strong, the city wall of eight zhang high, with the passage of time, after several repairs, revealing a majestic atmosphere.

This city has also been through war.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Mancheng, the southern marshal, mobilized a million troops to besiege Wancheng but could not, but this ancient city was also destroyed. Later, after the successive Taishou began to repair, and the city wall of Wancheng today is more majestic than it was back then......

It's a city that's easy to defend and hard to attack!

On the night of May 18, the twelfth year of Jian'an, a group of people quietly came to the city of Wancheng.

Looking at the soldiers' clothes and armor, it seems to be a routed army, with about six or seven hundred people...... One of the generals at the head was covered in blood, staggering on his horse, as if he was seriously injured. When this group of men and horses appeared at the end of the official road, it immediately attracted the attention of the defenders of Wancheng. Someone immediately reported to Wancheng Ling Elfang, and when Elfang heard the news, he put on his personal entourage and hurriedly climbed the city wall.

"Wait, where is the military horse?"

"Elk County Order, we are waiting to gather reinforcements to the south, I don't want to be ambushed by the Cao army on the way, and the soldiers will be lost, so we have to return the same way."

"Gather reinforcements in the south?"

When Elfang heard this, she was shocked.

He ordered someone to throw torches at the city, and saw that the outfit of this rout army was indeed the outfit of Liu Beijun.

Could it be that the lord failed to gather in the south?

"Cao Jun, how did you appear on the West Bank?"

"Back to the county order, this morning Cao's army stormed the south and gathered, and General Guan Ping was seriously injured.

We were ordered to rush to the rescue, and we didn't want to be ambushed by the Cao army who had crossed the thorny water...... Retreat all the way, only these soldiers and horses remain, please open the city gate of the county order and let me wait to enter the city to rest. ”

"Where's the lord?"

"I'm waiting for the pawn, how do you know where the lord is going?"

That's right, Liu Bei's whereabouts are kept strictly secret.

In the south, in addition to Guan Ping, only Lu Zhu and Chen Zhen knew.

How could these pawns know Liu Bei's movements? If they could really answer, then Elfang would be suspicious. However, it was precisely because these soldiers were not clear that Elfang's suspicions were dispelled. Tanma said that there was indeed a war in the early morning of Nan Juju. Thinking that these soldiers were gathered from the west bank to help the south, they were ambushed by Cao's army. How many people did Cao's army cross the river? Who is the Lord?

Elfang suddenly became nervous, and he didn't care about interrogation, so he ordered the city gate to be opened.

"In a moment, bring that military master and come to see me."

Lu Fang is in Wancheng, and he doesn't know much about the battle ahead. However, according to his thoughts, this war should be as if it were devastating. Unexpectedly, Cao Jun actually took a huge advantage in Nan, and even Guan Ping's house was seriously injured.

It is also strange to say that although Elfang and Ele Zhu are brothers, their temperaments are completely different.

Elk Zhu is graceful and elegant, calm and affinity; But what about Elkfang? But it seems a little frivolous and rough, and reckless, so calculating. To use a popular phrase to describe it, it is that Elfang is a cautious person, and he is so ambitious, and likes to compare with others.

Between him and Guan Yu, it is not too harmonious.

If we talk about the roots, it can be traced back to the time when Liu Bei first arrived in Xuzhou. Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei at that time, but Elfang did not approve.

As a native of Xuzhou, he preferred Tao Qian's son Tao Shang to Liu Bei.

For this reason, he and Liu Bei did not get along well. It wasn't until his sister Elk Huan married Liu Bei that Elfang changed her attitude.

It's just that the relationship between him and Liu Bei has eased, but the contradiction with Guan Yu has always existed.

Guan Yu has an arrogant and noble temperament, and does not look at Elfang in his eyes; It's just that Elfang is also an arrogant person, he thinks I am Liu Bei's brother-in-law, why do you Guan Yu look down on me? The two clashed many times because of this, but fortunately, Lu Zhu and Liu Bei mediated in the middle, and finally did not intensify the conflict. However, this contradiction exists after all, and neither of the two looks down on the other, so they ignore each other.

Guan Ping is Guan Yu's eldest son, and to some extent, he inherited Guan Yu's temperament.

He, like his father, looked down on Elfang; However, Elfang likes to put the elders on the shelf in front of Guan Ping, which also makes the two often quarrel. This is the case in Xuzhou, in Runan, and in Jingzhou...... Later, Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply left Guan Ping in Nieyang, and took Elk Fang to Wancheng, separating the two people. Now, when Elfang heard that Guan Ping was seriously injured, although he was worried about Liu Bei, he had an inexplicable joy. When she walked down the city gate, Elfang still had a strange smile on her face. I couldn't stop muttering in my heart: The thief is incompetent, why didn't he ruin Tan's life?

At the same time, the soldiers under the city also opened the city gates.

The rout slowly approached the city gate, and the leader of the army, still prostrate on his horse, looked crumbling, and could be planted from his horse at any moment.

At this time, a young man who looked like a school captain stepped forward.

"What's your name?"

"The last general, Peng Fu, has seen the general."

As he spoke, he dismounted from his horse, staggered a few steps, and almost lost his footing.

When the captain saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Peng Fu, can you still hold on?" ”

"The last general, you can still hold on."

"Come with me, the Elk County Order has something to ask you......"

When Jun Sima heard this, he hurriedly beat his spirit and followed the lieutenant.

Behind him, the rout slowly entered the Wancheng City Cave, and the two soldiers had a tacit understanding, and moved to the left and right, and inadvertently, they stuck the entrance of the city gate.

"Who is the general?"

"Uh, a certain non-general, the commander of Wancheng...... My name is Xiang Pet.

After the county order of Elk inquires, you will be under my account and obey the order. By the way, who is your general? Why am I so strange to you? ”

It seems to be an extremely casual question, but it hides a murderous intention.

Jun Sima couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Is this a pet?

Is that in the teacher's table, is it talked about as a pet who says 'can'?

Looking at his age, he is only ten years old now, but he has already been appointed as a captain of the army, which shows that Liu Bei attaches great importance to him. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem surprising. Liu Bei married the daughter of Xiang Lang in Yicheng, and he and Xiang are also family. This Xiang pet is a member of the Xiang clan, but I don't know what the relationship is with Xiang Lang. Then, it is reasonable for Liu Bei to reuse this person...... This person should not be underestimated.

"The last general is General Zhao Rong's military commander."

"Well, it's General Ziyu's part...... By the way, how is General Ziyu? ”

"The general is still in good health, and when he heard that Nan Juju had been attacked, General Zhao was ready to go to the ...... However, there are many affairs in the army, so he will go to the aid with another army. Who knows, was ambushed by Cao's army...... It's really a shame to expect from General Zhao. ”

"Ha, Cao Thief is cunning, you are not his opponent, and it is reasonable."

Xiang Pet and Jun Sima walked and talked at the same time.

After a while, they came to the doorway. I saw a man standing behind the doorway, looking old, about in his early thirties. He was dressed in a brocade robe, covered with armor, and held a sword. In the firelight, the man's face resembled that of a crown of jade, and his short hair grew under his chin.

One stop there, it looks quite magnificent.

Xiang Pet said: "This is the Elk County Order." ”

While speaking, Xiang Pet nodded to Elfang, which meant to tell Elfang: I have probed my breath, and there seems to be no problem.

Elfang smiled slightly, and felt relieved.

Although he let this group into the city, it is unlikely that he did not take precautions.

After all, although this team is wearing Liu Bei's armor, who can guarantee that it is not dressed by the enemy? The questions asked by Xiang Pet were precisely to test this military Sima. At that time, if Peng Fu made the slightest mistake, Xiang Pet would give an order and take Peng Fu's head.

You must know that although Peng Fu has soldiers in his hands, he has only entered the city a little.

At this time, if you make a move to the pet, you can easily kill Peng Fu and the others......

Elfang stepped forward and glanced at Peng Fu.

For some reason, he felt that this Peng Fu seemed familiar.

It was this familiarity that made Elfang completely relax her vigilance...... If it looks familiar, it must have been seen. Maybe when he accompanied Liu Bei to inspect military affairs, he didn't necessarily deal with this person. However, if he wants to be a dignified Liu Bei and a close minister, how can he deliberately remember a junior colonel in the army? Elfang put his mind at ease, and only stopped when he was a few steps away from Na Peng Fushang.

"Let me ask you, can you see clearly, who is the commander of the Cao army that ambushed you?"

"Uh...... At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the last general did not see it very really. However, among the Cao army, there was one person who was extremely brave and killed me a lot. The last general vaguely heard someone calling him......" Peng Fu made a look of recollection, and took two steps forward while people were not paying attention, getting closer to Elfang, who was just about to speak, but heard Peng Fu shout, "I remembered, Cao Jun called that man." ”

"Childe?"

When Elfang heard this, her eyes lit up.

"What kind of outfit and how do you dress up?"

"The man is holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd...... Phi Tang Qi Treasure Armor...... Well, his mount is extremely miraculous, and when it roars, if the dragon roars and the tiger roars, all the beasts are shocked.

The last general had some impression that his horse seemed to be the legendary lion and tiger beast. ”

Cao Peng, crossed the river?

Listening to Peng Fu's description, Elfang immediately reacted, what kind of person is Peng Fu talking about. He and Xiang Pet glanced at each other, and saw that each other's eyes were full of horror.

Cao Peng, he actually crossed the river!

Just then, a soldier went over to take Penford's mount.

The horse suddenly became angry, and raised its hooves with a long neigh, like a dragon roaring like a lion, and the iron hooves lifted up, and kicked the soldier to the ground at once.

"That horse, like the mount of the general."

"Huh?"

When Lu Zhu heard Peng Fu's words, he suddenly shuddered.

An ominous premonition, born from his heart, he subconsciously wanted to hold the sword in his hand, but saw that Peng Fu suddenly came to life, and his shoulder slammed forward, knocking Elk Zhu to the ground at once. With a lift of his left hand, an iron meteor flew out of his hand and smashed towards Xiang Pet. Xiang Pet was startled, and instinctively dodged to dodge. said that it was too late, it was fast, Peng Fu drew his knife and shouted violently, "Flying camel soldiers, do it!" ”
